Keep safe our souls.

Keep safe our lives.

May angels watch us from the skies."

I started out trying to make an angel tribal deck, but angels have such a wide array of abilities that don't really synergize, and you can tell that angels have been designed primarily to be guardians of other creatures, or of you as a player. I found that the angels that help other angels, usually help humans as well, and that synergy is in . This deck starts there and then runs a bunch of other sources of angel tokens for theme.

The angels that help angels, humans, and/or creatures in general:

1. Lyra Dawnbringer
2. Herald of War
3. Bruna, the Fading Light
4. Shalai, Voice of Plenty
5. Serra's Guardian
6. Angelic Skirmisher
7. Angelic Guardian
8. Deathless Angel

Then there are angels the benefit from humans:

• Angelic Overseer
• Sigarda, Heron's Grace

So, this deck uses $T4KS humans to slow down the opponents until I can use human mana dorks and humans that can help ramp to affordably cast my angels, while flooding the field with angel tokens to swing for lethal.

I chose Shalai, Voice of Plenty as the commander so that I can protect myself and my creatures while using the +1/+1 counts to strengthen my humans and give them Trample with Tuskguard Captain & Crowned Ceratok , Flying with Abzan Falconer , and make them unblockable with Champion of Lambholt .
